About this listen

On the face of it, representing a widow in an accidental death case should be routine. Sergeant Maynard, a Royal Air Force policeman, died in a simple motorcycle accident. The problem is, Mrs Maynard insists her husband was murdered. Sceptical at first, Charles realises she could be right; something much more frightening is happening at the airbase.

As rifts in the corrupt Metropolitan Police are revealed and the threats to Charles and those he loves escalate, he begins to wonder–has he finally bitten off more than he can chew?

Force of Evil, based on a true but unpublicised case of multiple murder, is a sixth crime novel in an exciting historical series, the Charles Holborne Legal Thrillers–gritty, hard-boiled mysteries set in 1960s London.

This author can do no wrong.

Another great story by Simon Michael. I love how the characters develop with each book. I didn't want this one to end.

Addictive series

The narration is by a top man and the stories are well written and obviously well researched. I was interested that I have also come from a family that was expelled from Spain after the Spanish Inquisition and like the character I had a Grandfather who married outside the “Faith” and my Father subsequently suffered during his childhood as an outcast.

Love this series. Brilliant

Great narration as always and an excellent story. Charlie Holborn navigates the legal hierarchy, helps out the under dog and once again comes out on top. Can’t wait for the next one.
